Hello All.
I am taking my 2396 written exam in December this year, therefore i am knee deep in practice papers.
In case anyone else is in the same boat, i wanted to post some questions, to see the difference in answers, (If any at all) if those of us more knowledgeable would like to have a go...
A 4 Pole 30 ma RCD, supplying a 4 pin socket, the circuit has no neutral, RCD tests fine phase to earth and works as should apart from the functional test button not working due to no neutral or resistor. Thoughts on a link from earth terminal to neutral incoming terminal to enable the...
I fancy a bit of fun, but in a way to benefit us all. The idea is simple; A reg number is posted and the next poster has to give their interpretation of the reg AND what they believe the regs intent to be.
From a trainee, it may be hard to truly understand why a reg is worded the way it is and...
Advice needed! Ive been to see a job for garage power, the previous electrician has taken a 4mm on a 32amp B MCB protected by a 30mA RCD. But hasnt done anything with, apart from the fact there is no protection and its T&E all straight forward. My ownly question is do i gland straight into a...
There was a recent thread here alternately slagging/praising Screwfix. I would like to report that Screwfix recently donated a four figure sum to the Men's Shed charity branch where I am involved, and the first digit wasn't a 1.
Maybe rounding up your online orders to the nearest pound isn't a...
Hi All,
Found this beauty in a rented property.... the landlord has refused to pay for any renovation of the property as he deems it unnecessary, has even refused to pay for the repair leaks in the past etc.... this supply runs down the wall cavity never to be seen again .... when house supply...

I am in the process of buying a house and the previous owner has now decided he wants to charge us an additional £1200 for the security cameras and alarm system all wifi (originally came free with the house) and linked to their phone or he will rip it out and take it with him.
What i would like...
On a domestic inspection and testing certificate or conditional reports, I always put maximum disconnection time permitted by BS7671 as 0.4 sec. I've been given a testing job for an HMO property and on the previous conditional report, the maximum disconnection time of 0.4 sec is only given for...
Just arrived at a job where a new consumer unit was installed by a previous electrician in 2010
Ive finished some garden lighting and started testing supply and I'm getting a reading of 2.7Ohms Ze and 1.08PFC this is a TN-S earthing system
Previous test sheet on the consumer unit was 0.15 Ze...
Reading the recent post about the barber shop and no RCDs I was wondering,
If an installation was satisfactory under a previous edition of Regs. And if no alterations have been made to it, or no other problems are evident, since installation, is it still satisfactory and therefore can't be...
Hi everyone I would appreciate your thoughts on this one.
I had a call from a customer who has recently purchased a house & the cooker hood extractor fan has given up.
So we agreed on a time when I could pop around and have a look.
Right at the end of the conversation he asked me if it would...
Hi,
I have just purchased a new oven which is 13A. The old oven was connected to a MK 45A DP Cooker Control Unit with Neon. Can I just connect the 13A to teh same socket? The previous oven was a Bosch which was rated at 16A.
Thank you.
Morning, anyone tried the Megga mft1721 ? After dropping my old 1553 from a step ladder I decided the accessor would be unimpressed with a tester that had gone mute and suffered with a gaping side wound. I hope I made the right decision ?
Before the changes you could get a list of all the threads you had started (as well as your posts). I can only find how to see my posts, not my started threads. Any idea if this is still possible?
If you were to retest jobs that had been tested 5 years previously would you expect Ze to be lower or higher .RCD times to be lower or higher .Thanks Chris
Hi all,
i'm just looking for a bit of advice/info. I'm coming towards the end of my 2365 level 2 year 2 and I'm wanting to apply to some local firms looking for work but all the vacancies require you to have a ECS card.
I've been on the ECS website but I'm more confused.
I'm under the...
I bought this used off eBay about 2 years ago and shortly after changed jobs so it has sat unused in my ownership.
It is in mint condition, the only flaw on the set is some staining on the leather case where the previous owner had his name.
Here's a link to functions and specs ...
